Opposition leader Bill Shorten has defended his support of the medevac bill, which will fast-track medical evacuations after passing through parliament last week.
The controversial medevac bill grants doctors a greater say in allowing refugees and asylum seekers to be transferred to Australia for treatment.
Mr Shorten says ‘when you’re feeling sick, do you go and see Peter Dutton or do you go and see the doctor?’
